Homebody Hermit Crab

Maegan Shetima's hermit crab will sidestep right into your heart. She carved the whimsical water creature from an orange spiny oyster shell. Jet in spiny oyster shell eyestalks are closely set, while tiny pincers are at the ready. The friendly crab peers out from its cozy home, an abandoned conch shell. Hermit crabs are foragers who consume decaying matter keeping marine ecosystems tidy. Overall dimensions of this jewel from the sea are approximately 1 1/8" long, 3/4" wide and 3/4" tall.
